Issue № 234Tell me again why Father’s Day isn’t as big as Mother’s Day in the flower Industry?

Q and A - with - Dos Gringos

Q: So you think the Fathers of the world would like flowers over something a little more manly?

A: Ha… that reminds me of an awesome old SAF Ad that had a picture of a Manly Man in the wilderness with the quote that said… “A Man who has everything must surely own a vase.”

Q: Do you REALLY believe that flowers should be part of Father’s Day gift giving?

A: Of course I do believe that with a caveat.

Q: Why is that?

A: Flowers are the best way to say “I appreciate you. I thank you. I love you … and a thousand other things.”

Q:What’s the caveat?

A: Well, as a Dad, I would recommend flowers and…..

Q: And what?

A: And something your Dad really likes! Flowers are and will always be the international symbol of love and appreciation. Why not add that to the tie or the golf clubs or the awesome bottle of bourbon that you also buy your Dad to show your love and appreciation? Think of it as a “and one.”

Q: Okay okay….. I get it… anything else?

A: No, that’s my only point this week. Following suit to our Dirt on the Friday before Mother’s Day, below are a few team members with their awesome Dad’s and their thank you notes.
